Stoic Studio will be bringing its newly announced tactical RPG sequel The Banner Saga 2 to mobile.
"I can tell you that we ARE planning on bringing The Banner Saga 2 to mobile," Stoic's Arnie Jorgensen told me, "but I cannot talk about dates or any specifics regarding which devices until more is locked down. "
At the moment, The Banner Saga 2 has been confirmed for PC and consoles in early 2...
In the run up to Christmas, Pocket Gamer has teamed up with the developers behind some of this year's best games to give you ten award-winning iOS games for free. Come back every day for the next two weeks to get your games.
Our first game is Crescent Moon and Dead Mage's ninja simulator Shadow Blade. Download it for free on iPhone and iPad, here.
Shadow Blade is a game that should not w...
Rumours have been weaving their way around the internets today about the possibility of Samsung's Gear VR virtual reality headset finally going on sale, and the Korean giant has now confirmed it on the official US online store.
Priced at $199.99, it seems the virtual reality game has finally kicked off in earnest.
Let's face-case the music
Although the Gear VR was designed in co-operation...
Star Wars: Commander officially becomes a Star Wars game this week.
By that, I mean Disney has finally decided to add arguably the series' most iconic figures: Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
Can you believe that they weren't already part of the game? Sure, Disney now own Star Wars and are doing what they wish with it, but to shun Lucas's most famous characters? Pah.
What's more, they're...
Thousands of years ago, in a strange fantasy world called "1998", the inhabitants had a strange taste in games.
They favoured number-crunching exercises with complex statistics but very primitive story and presentation. These games were known as "are-pee-gees".
The greatest of them all was the fabled Dragon Warrior 3. So great, in fact, that it would not die. After it's initial release, it w...
Gumi Inc. has released Sega's line-defence RPG Chain Chronicle in the UK, US, Canada, and Australia on iOS and Android today.
It was originally released in Japan and hasn't been available anywhere else since, until now. It will be coming to more countries soon.
Chain Chronicle has you in control of five units trying to defend a base behind them against a wave of Black Army enemies. The base ...
Apple released its Best Of 2014 lists today. On top as the best iPad game is Monument Valley, while Threes! takes best iPhone game.
While Pocket Gamer will certainly have its own list, we can't disagree with Apple's pickings. Not when we gave both of them a shiny Gold Award.
As for the runners-up, for iPad it is the Gold Award-winning Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. While on iPhone it is th...
Chinese game publisher Shanda Games has announced Borderlands Online for mobile and PC in China.
It's to be a shooter-RPG that plays just like regular Borderlands titles, except with a focus on the online experience, plus it will be free-to-play.
As expected, Shanda Games is working with 2K and Gearbox on Borderlands Online. In fact, Gearbox has even set-up a new team in Shanghai to support ...
Bear Winter is probably not the best kind of winter. Just a hunch I have.
I'll tell you why: it involves trekking up the Russian mountains where you'll be repeatedly attacked by "ice bears." That is not my idea of a merry old time.
Unless, that is, it's an upcoming iOS match-3 puzzler called Bear Winter. In which case, bring it on.
Yep, Nevercenter's Bear Winter has matching fire to ...
Silver Award-winning action adventure RPG Horn has had its price slashed on the App Store, meaning you can now pick it up for £1.49 / $1.99.
The game sees you trundling through a fantasy world, fighting giant steampunk robots in Infinity Blade-style combat sections. There are shades of Zelda and Shadow of the Colossus here, and that's no bad thing.
At review we called the game "an ambiti...
I hate snowmen. Snowmen with their multi-tired bodies and stovepipe hats. Almost every run I have on Roller Polar is spoiled by their smug carrot-nosed faces.
Or by rocks. Or trees. Or those annoying birds that fly along nonchalantly and hit you in the face at the apex of your jump.
There's a decent case to be made for hating everything in this game. From the ball of snow you're struggling t...
Brilliant, weird, funny platformer Electronic Super Joy: Groove City has made one last leap and landed on the Google Play Store, so if you're a player of a Google persuasion you can nab it right now.
The game sees you jumping through a city that's being attacked by a giant stripper robot. The platoforming is super fast, and the controls are more than up to the task.
Everything looks gorg...
CD Projekt Red has soft launched its Witcher-themed MOBA The Witcher Battle Arena in Sweden, which should mean we're not too far away from a worldwide release.
The game is a free to play online battler that sees you picking a character from the console game series and engaging in ten minute scraps against other players.
You can team up in cooperative fights, and if you don't have a conne...
This is a bit of a weird one, so bear with me. Remember Driver, the sort-of open world crime driving sim that saw you skidding around cities, avoiding the cops, and generally being an irresponsible citizen?
Well Ubisoft has just soft launched a new entry in the series in New Zealand and Australia. Except this time you're not driving a car. You're driving a boat. So more Boater than Driver I gue...
Sony held its PlayStation Experience event over the weekend in Las Vegas, and as you might imagine, there were quite a few PS Vita games announced.
If you were hoping for a big triple A announcement you're probably going to be a bit disappointed, but if you like ports, indie games, and ports, then you're likely set for a cheery end to the year.
First up there's retrotastic pixel platfo...
Virtual reality developer nDreams is 'gearing' up (pun-tastic) for the launch of Samsung's anticipated virtual reality face case, and has announced that it's epic space shooter Gunner will be available as a launch title.
Oculus is onboard with Gunner as a co-publisher, so you can expect to be hearing a lot more about it once the VR race finally - hopefully - kicks off this month.

Sunday. Sunday Sunday Sunday. What to do? Why not download an awesome free game for your iPad and spend the day battling monsters? Now that sounds like a plan.
Today's advent calendar gift is the excellent Fates Forever. It's a brilliant mobile MOBA that's been slightly overshadowed by the release of Vainglory. But you know what? We think it's a damn sight better.
The game takes the PC t...
Every week, Pocket Gamer provides a weekly digest of the most important and popular stories from these digital pages.
Whoops, we forgot to do a round-up last week. I was in Spain, everyone else was lazy, it was a disaster. Sorry!
But anyway. There was a smattering of new mobile games this week, which we rounded up in our list of the best iOS games of the week, and the must-buy Android games ...
It's the weekend! Are you hungover yet? Have you punched anyone in the Christmas shopping rush? I'm writing this from the past but I bet I've done both of those things.
If the machinations of capitalism have made you violent, why not take out some of your rage with Only One. It is, after all, today's entry into our excellent advent calendar of excellence.
The game sees you battling on to...
Such is the pace of the mobile games' industry, despite the loaming holiday season, there's no let up when it comes to news.
Of course, Pocket Gamer is partly responsible, given our PG Connect London 2015 conference (13-14 January) is mere weeks away.
Sign up here for your still-reduced ticket.
UA remains a key issue for the industry, with Tapdaq's Dom Bracher pointed out that it's just too exp...
